Police kept on eye on the three dozen protestors, who sought a new venue after protesting at M.D. Pruitt's Home Furnishings in Phoenix with other anti-illegal immigration and, on the other side, pro-immigration rights activists.

The store on Thomas Road and 35th Street has been the site of the demonstrations since owner Roger Sensing hired officers to keep day laborers off his property more than a year ago.

Day-labor activists took a break from Pruitt's on Saturday, giving bikers the chance to rally in a more "affluent" area, said Freedom Riders' founder Danny Smith.

"We feel like we can force change faster here," he said.

Immigration advocate Salvador Reza launched the weekly protests at Pruitt's to boycott Sensing's store and demand support for day laborers.

The next protest could take place Jan. 1, when an Employer Sanctions Law takes effect cracking down on businesses that knowingly hire undocumented immigrants.
